As fare as Kialoa go..

I'd recommend the Hulu.. oval shaft version..

I mostly use the Hulu Small.. [both downwinding and surfing] .. But it's a pretty small blade.. At your weight I think the regular Hulu will work best..

btw.. It's nice to know that Tom Carroll also chooses the Kialoa Hulu Sm..

Not because they're given to him or because of a sponsorship deal.. but because after trying them all he likes them the most..

I'm sure plenty of others here can give advise re KeNalu..

Both great paddle.. and both have a VERY different feel..

Sooo thanks to Mr. Keno spot 5 lol I am in the market for a new paddle. Yippeee!!!!
So I was wondering being 182 cm and 110kg and going down, what paddle should I go for?
I have a adjustable SUPAtx which is for the wife mainly, which I think I will use as I start surfing later on.
I would probably buy my paddle for DWing in mind.

What about a Quickblade? I keep reading some great things about those paddles. I own a KeNalu Malokai and also have the Maliko blade. I really enjoy the KeNalu paddles and have found them to be great for flatwater and surfing. I tend to use the Malokai for both, but then I am not an expert paddler and just use the one paddle for everything. I am curious to try both the Quckblade and Kialoha paddles as I have not heard a bad thing about either of them, nor KeNalu for that matter. I think, as everything in SUP goes, try to demo all three (or both) if you can to see which feels right for you.

Moyzie we have the Kialoa paddles in stock at Balmoral Paddle surf if you want more info - 02 9905 8826

Demo, demo,demo!
Then you don't have to assume that other people's somewhat biased preferences will apply to you.
The only way to find what best suits YOU is to give the paddles you are interested in a try......after doing that your decision will be easy.....you'll definitely want the Ke Nalu Konihi

SOOO!!! MR.KENO STRUCK AGAIN LOL !!!!! NO CAR BILLS THIS TIME!!!


should I order my paddle untopped ??? as I see a few of the sites come with measurements for you paddle pole length and the the QB where it's specific measurements because of the tapered shaft. ???

and measuring my shaft is it from the ground to the height I need or from paddle top or what???

OH! as for when I first posted this topic I won $1,000 on a keno ticket got excited got permission from the treasurer and governor of the house!!
and the very next day our car Trans **** itself and voila
money gone!!!!
